What critics compared Hour of the Wolf to
There’s little doubt that this visual feast sets a disturbing tone, as “The Lighthouse” has an Ingmar Bergman-“Hour of the Wolf”-thing working greatly in its favor.
Taking its stylistic cues not from today's crop of horror films, but from such masterpieces as Roman Polanski's "Repulsion" (1965) and Ingmar Bergman's "Hour of the Wolf" (1968), it makes even scarier that most scary of bogeymen: the human mind.
Early scenes start considerably broader until the frame encroaches on the cast with the claustrophobia of early Polanski or late game Bergman– The Call has both the paranoia of Repulsion and the escalating surreal tension of Hour of the Wolf .
